Ruhr Ding: Klima

8.5. – 27.6.21

With the Ruhr Ding: Klima, Urbane Künste Ruhr is showing 22 art projects in public spaces in the cities of Gelsenkirchen, Herne, Recklinghausen and Haltern am See from 8 May to 27 June 2021.

The exhibition, conceived by Britta Peters, focuses on global warming as well as on the social climate that accompanies this situation. The artistic works range from video installations, audio walks and performances to artificial botanical landscapes and floating pavilions, adding further historical, fantastic and futuristic dimensions to the present climate discourse. Not at least art functions as perceptual amplifiers for the special features of the Ruhr region: The choice of exhibition sites ranges from the former General Blumenthal colliery in Recklinghausen to the shallows of lake of Silbersee II in Haltern.

Unna

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Zeichnung, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.
